I had the same problem thought mine was the seat but it turned out to be the seat clamp. All I have to do is remove the seat post and clamp clean it and spray with some Gt85 lube and that keeps me going for a bit ;D Hope that helps you m8 |

Also spray the Bolts by the rails with GT85, my Cube today had exactly the same and was really annoying and so far so good.

Are you sure it's the saddle? Lots of bits squeak with pedal stroke and might seem like the saddle... Taking things apart, cleaning and tightening is normally a good way to solve most creaks  |

Def saddle if I stand on the pedals whilst pedalling the creak stops.
Will disassemble and lightly grease.
Thanks

Use some Ti-Prep or copper slip grease on the rails and clamp, this stuff lasts much longer than normal grease.
If the creaks are coming from where the rails enter the saddle, spray wd40 gt85 or similar into the saddle rail holes using a cloth to catch the excess (don't want it on your brakes).
However, some saddles make a noise after a while and nothing you try will stop it, just depends if you've got one of these or not, I replaced my last saddle because the noise from it was SSssoooo LOUD it was driving me insane.

Mine is doing the same. WTB Rocket. I've greased the seat post I've cleaned and greased the rails but it didn't work. In the end I had to take the rails out of the saddle and clean them and the bits they fit into and lube it.
That fixed my problem, but it could be any of the things mentioned above. Also don't rule out your old bones.

WTB Rocket was the saddle that drove me mad with the noise, after a few months of messing with it I decided to get rid and get a Charge Ti Spoon, both bikes have them on and they're mint! |
